until owner updates pkgbuild, you can work around this issue by manually editing it:
set version to 3.1.270 and sha256sum (for x86_64) to bd15b5ae8c41c61d71c25184c5837091f800effe21466fd8b113e04efc703304

if started via systemd user service, i get no tray icon, but it probably works (been indexing since quite a while now according to dropbox-cli)

I keep getting "Aborted (core dumped)" every time I start dropboxd.

Hi. We are not 'building' anything here. Dropbox is close source. You can see there is no build() function in the PKGBUILD either. We just 'repackage' whatever is provided by the dropbox - extracting the downloaded archive and putting the contents in the proper places. So there are no any build dependencies.

Would you need qt5 libraries to 'run' dropbox-experimental, maybe no, I can see qt5 libraries in /opt/dropbox after the package is installed. But if you have qt5-base installed, it should link to those. You can check this with ldd.

@aya
I thought the dependencies changed to QT5?
I wasn't sure what other dependencies would be required for a build as well.
Thanks for the info on how to edit the pkgbuild though. Much appreciated!

@Burning_aces

There is nothing scary with messing with PKGBUILD. It is very simple.

Just set pkgver to the current one, e.g.
pkgver=2.11.25

Then download the package (needed to fill in the correct sha256) substituting the variables in the URL
source=("https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/$_pkgname-lnx.$_source_arch-$pkgver.tar.gz"
....
)

Flagged out-of-date. My Dropbox autoupdated to 2.1.13 and when I run `packer`, it downgraded to 2.1.12, LOL...

With 2.1.5-2 on Arch64 I found I was getting a permission denied error starting dropboxd. The fix was to insert chmod 755 "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox/main" after line 38 in the PKGBUILD. A similar line is there in the PKGBUILD you have for dropbox 2.0, renaming /opt/dropbox/dropbox. They seem to have renamed the binary from dropbox to main in going from 2.0 to 2.1?

Fixed.

Hi, thanks for the package, but I got this error with dropbox-experimental 2.1.5-1:

1.2.4 is out and in the changelog of 1.2.2 I can read this : Don't rely on cpuid for machine signature on Linux
Good news :)
Update, please ?

adlaiff6 commented on 2011-05-03 06:11

WARNING: with 1.2.0, I experience a bug that seems to be confirmed by some on the dropbox forums, which is that every time dropboxd starts, it asks me to link my computer with dropbox, and consequently re-hashes all my files. They say this is because it uses /proc/cpuinfo as part of the key generator, so if you're using a more steady governor like powersave, you might not see the bug as much, but it is quite annoying. Looks like they're on top of it and I'd expect another release soon, but I suggest waiting to upgrade until this bug is fixed. Details here: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=37258&page=3

@cecilyen: I'll test this when I have some time, but I don't think you have to link back to /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.5, dropbox should fallback to /usr/lib when searching for shared libraries if it doesn't find them in its own directory.

Anonymous comment on 2011-04-05 16:35

Ok, I figured out he problem myself.
Dropbox used an old version of libz (/opt/dropbox/libz.so.1 1.2.3.3) which is not support by Arch Linux now (/usr/lib/libz.so.1 1.2.5).
So, removing the libz in the dropbox folder and then linking the system-wide libz to the dropbox should fix this error.
ln -s /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.5 /opt/dropbox/libz.so.1

I've used it for a while and never had any problems with. Very useful utility to have.

Anonymous comment on 2010-12-21 15:03

Saw an error from .xsession-errors, but Dropbox worked fine
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail-gnome": /opt/dropbox/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.3.3' not found (
required by /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2)

Anyone saw this error?

mtorromeo commented on 2010-12-21 08:09

The problem is that your /opt/dropbox/library.zip doesn't seem like a zip, but it is a valid zip in my case.
Don't know what would cause this.

roy_hu commented on 2010-12-20 22:55

@mtorromeo, rebuilding it? All building does is just download a binary blob, isn't it? I still get the same error.

@roy_hu:
It seems like a build problem, and it's working fine for me.
Try rebuilding it.

Supposedly, 0.8.48 finally fixes the issue some people have of getting stuck right after logging in. I've had the problem personally since forever, I'm praying this turns out to be true. Can you please upgrade to this version? It also notably contains a "pause" button now.

Anonymous comment on 2010-04-08 01:40

0.8.32:
- More native feeling preferences on linux - and the help buttons work now :)
- Fixed a bug where bubbles about deleted files in shared folders weren't properly redirecting to the undelete page when clicked.
